  18. Battle Drill 3: Break Contact TASK: Break Contact (Platoon/Squad) (7-3/4-D104) CONDITIONS: The platoon/squad is moving or stationary. The enemy fires on the platoon/squad. The platoon/squad leader orders the platoon/squad to break contact. STANDARDS: The unit moves to where the enemy cannot observe or place direct fire on it. The squad continues follow-on operations with sufficient fighting force to continue its mission.

  21. Battle Drill 4: React to Ambush • TASK: React to Ambush (Platoon/squad), (7-3/4-D103) • CONDITIONS: The platoon/squad enters a kill zone. The enemy initiates fires on the platoon/squad with a casualty-producing device and a high volume of fire. • STANDARDS: • The unit returns fire immediately. • The unit in the kill zone (near ambush) throws grenades and assaults through the enemy position. The unit not in the kill zone locates and suppresses the enemy with well-aimed fire. • The unit in the kill zone (far ambush) take up covered positions and suppress the enemy position with well aimed fire. The unit not in the kill zone moves by a covered ad concealed route and assaults using fire and maneuver.

The enemy initiates fires on the platoon/squad with mortars or artillery. • STANDARDS: • The unit immediately gets in the prone and calls out “incoming.” • The squad/platoon leader calls out a direction (clock method) and distance (meters) for the unit to move. Individual soldiers echo the command. • The unit waits until a pause in the firing to move. Unit moves at a double time; consolidates and reorganizes at the rally point.
